Peraso Announces PRM2144X Release In PERSPECTUS mmWave Module Lineup

Latest member of the Perspectus family targets dense urban environments with 5-degree antenna and 128 element antenna array

Peraso Inc. ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a leader in mmWave technology for 60GHz license-free and 5G licensed networks, is pleased to announce the release of the PRM2144X , Peraso's latest mmWave module in the Company's PERSPECTUS series featuring long range, outdoor applications.

Utilizing the Peraso X720 60 GHz chipset, the PRM2144X is designed for dense urban areas. A novel 128 element, integrated, phased array antenna, provides high gain, narrow beamwidth, and extremely low antenna side-lobes. Combined with Peraso's intelligent Media Access Control features, the PRM2144X enables wireless Internet service provider (WISP) operators to deploy long range, multi-point networks without fear of interference in dense user environments. The increased gain and range also benefit sub-urban and rural deployments, eliminating the need for dish antennas in many cases.

"We developed the PRM2144Xmodule to maximize the practical gain available from a compact phased array," said Ron Glibbery, CEO of Peraso. "As a pioneer of high-performance mmWave phased array solutions, Peraso is committed to delivering technology that offers a unique combination of low-cost implementation and high-power efficiency. Peraso's Perspectus modules are the ideal solution for supporting rapid deployments in next-generation 60GHz FWA applications as demand increases.

All of the Perspectus products provide a complete, multi-gigabit, wireless transceiver supporting SuperSpeed USB data connectivity and the IEEE 8021.11ad wireless protocol over the entire 60GHz band from 57 to 71 GHz. The PRM2144X modules are fully tested and ready to integrate. Factory adjustments are not required, as all calibration is performed at run-time.
